The Marlins have given Gibson fits as he is 0-2 against them in three career starts with a 6.50 ERA. He has lost both starts at loanDepot Park while compiling a 10.80 ERA.

Gibson is winless in eight road starts this season, going 0-2 with a 5.22 ERA. He has a 2-2 record at night and 4.97 ERA in eight starts. The Phillies have gone 10-8 when he pitches.

Alcantara is on quite a roll with a 7-1 record and 1.24 ERA in his last 12 starts.

Last Sunday, Alcantara pitched seven scoreless innings against the Mets in New York but did not factor in the decision. He allowed six hits, struck out four and walked one.

In 12 career starts against the Phillies, Alcantara has a 6-4 record and 3.03 ERA.

Phillies vs Marlins Betting Outlook

Brian Anderson’s two-run triple in the bottom of the 11^th inning won it for the Marlins over the Pirates on Thursday.

Both Marlins middle infielders left the game early. Second baseman Jon Berti was removed in the second inning with a mild groin struck and shortstop Miguel Rojas exited in the ninth after being struck in the head while tagging out the Pirates’ Oneil Cruz.

Berti and Rojas are considered questionable for Friday.

Marlins designated hitter Garrett Cooper did not start for a second straight game because of a bruised left knee and center fielder Jesus Sanchez was a late scratch because of a personal reason. Both entered the game in the late innings.

Stott accounted for all the Phillies’ scoring with a two-run homer Wednesday in their loss to the Blue Jays. That was just one of two hits for Philadelphia.

Catcher J.T. Realmuto and third baseman Alec Bohm will return to the active roster Friday. Both were placed on the restricted list for the two-game series in Toronto as they were unable to enter Canada because of their vaccination status.
